Be it known that we, DAVE) MILES HAZ- WORTH and Eneniir VICTOR PUTNAM, citi- Zens of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and. useful Improvementsin Cuspiclors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in cuspidors for use in railway cars, although designed for use in other places The present invention has for its objects among others to provide a simple yet efi cient ancl durable sanitary cuspidor readily applied, requiring. practically no attention, and the parts so arranged anti assembled as not to be liable to get out of order, but on the other hancl most reliable and positive in their mtion,

We mount the cuspidor on a movable support, normally raised into a vertical posi tion and serving as a closure for the opening in which the cuspidor is retained when not in use, and within thechainber to which access is had through this opening is disposeli a device for washing the cuspidlor', saixi washing device being controlleu by the opening and closing of said movable support by, which the cuspidor is carried;

Other object and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will he specifically defined by the appended claims The invention, in its preferred form, is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the numerals of reference marked thereon, forin' part or this specification, and in which-=- Figure l is a front elevation showing the cuspidor in its positionfor use Fig. 2 is a vertical section with the cuspidor and its movable support in elevation. Fig, 3 is a perspective view of the collection receptacle removecl. Fig. 4: is a view partly in section, looking down upon the collection receptacle in place. Fig. 5 is a view of the movable support carrying the cuspidor. Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view, with parts in elevation, showing the washing apparatus and its controlling rod, etc,

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts-throughout the several views. v

a house, or any other place, Wm ma openingv 2.

3 is a cloor or movable support hi reel one edge as at 4 to the vertical wa l, seen clearly in Figs. 1 ani 2 a spring 5 toing shown for the purpose of holding @0 door or movable support in its vertical position. 6 is a cuspiolor of any well @own or preferred form of construction seemed to this door or movable support in any well known way, in this instance shown as held; by clips or the like 7 shown in Fig,

8 is a wall or vertical supportperallel the wall 1 as seen in Fig:- 2, anti in the space 9 between the saicl Wells is supported a re ceptacle 10 in this ins'ance shownin 2 as provided at its u er edge with fia go 11, see also 5, which flange is-suppoi upon the ledge of a plate or support its secureri within he 9 in manner, p

In some instences we emplo 5 curved guarrl 18 as in position H Within the space depends a water pipe 19 connecteci with any suitable source water supply anal to u e lower enol of this pipe is connectecl wnwarolly pipe 26* csrrying no free a or rose I the junction oi zhe pipe 19 snail incli-necl portion is oisposeti a valve 2-2, stem 23- wl ich connected therewith an arm the tree end of which is proviclocll with an elonr atei slot %5,'

26 is e rocl having one engl connectetl this by means oi a projection or pin 2? working in said slot as seen clearly in 6. The other enclozi this real 26 carries a, olislr or plun er which is adapted; to snugly within 29 secured insuit-' able manner in proper position on the inner or normally upper face of the movable support 8 as seen clearly in Fig,

so is a eonneeteu at one enrl to curl of rod 26 at its junction. with the arm 2-1, the other one of this spring losing olisposeo; within a socket or chamber 31 the wall 8 as seen best in Fig. a

The door or movalole support 3 may provider with a knob or ring or the W e 32 as seen in Fig, 2 loy which it may manipulated when olesireol.

ith th" parts constructecl anti arrangeci substantially as hereinhefore riescriheri operation will he reatiily understoorl cspe 0 cially' when taken in connection with the annexed drawings. In the position in which it is-seen in Fig, 2 the cus idor is ready for use. After use, the mova le sup port 3 is drawn up into vertical position when it closely fits the opening 2 and closes the same: As the door is closed the cup 29' engages the plunger 28 and pushing thereon turns the valve 22 and turns on the water in the pipe 19 and the water flowing out through the rose 21 serves to thoroughly wash and cleanse the cuspidor, which is then in the position seen by dotted lines in Fig. 2. The material, as it is washed out of the cuspidor, falls in to the receptacle 10 from whence it can be easily removed when desired. When the-movable support 3 is again brought into its horizontal position the spring returns the arm 24 to its former position, turning the valve so as to shut oh" the water.

, Modifications in detail may he resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

' What is claimed as new is:

1. The described device consisting or" a casing having an opening thereinto, a removable reoeptacle,aspring controlled door for said opening, a cuspidor on said door, a spray pipe in said casing, a valve therein,

a piston rod connected to said valve, a piston on the tree end thereof, and a piston cylinder on said door adapted to engage said piston.

2. The described device consisting of a casing having an opening thereinto, a removable receptacle, a spring controlled door for said opening, a cuspidor on said door, aspray pipe in said casing, a valve therein, a piston rod oonnecmd to said valve, a piston on the free end thereof, and a piston cylinder on said door adapted to engage said piston, said rod adapted to operate said valve, a valve stem connecting said valve and said rod, said stein losing spring controlled. v

,3. The described device consisting of a casing having an opening thereinto, a removable receptacle, a spring controlled door for said opening, a cuspidor on said door,

a' spray pipe in said casing, a valve therein,

controlled, said rod having sliding movement on said stem.

4. A device or the kind described comprising a caslng having an opening, a door in said opening movable to a horizontal position, a. spring mounted on the outer wall of the casing and normally holding said door shut, a water supply pipe mounted on the back wall of said casing and having a forwardly inclined jet ofiset, a bowl on said door movable within range or said ofiset, a valve in said odset, an arm carried by said valve exteriorly of said ofiset and having an upper elongated slot, a rod pinned in the slot of said arm and havin a disk at its free end, said back wall forme with a socket, a horizontally disposed cup on said door, and a spring in said socket engaging said rod to hold its disk in the path of movement of said cup to cause said arm to open said valve.

when thedoor is closed, said cup engaging the disk 5. lhe described device consisting of a casing, having an opening thereinto, a re ceptacle, a spring controlled door for said opening, a cuspidor on said door, a spray pipe in said casing, a valve therein, a rod connected to said valve, means for support" ing the free end of said rod, a valve stem connecting said valve and said rod, said stem being spring controlled and a guard for said receptacle.
